Soccer Camps

The Ball State soccer coaching staff will hold its 2015 Girls Spring Soccer I.D. Camp on Sunday, April 12 at the Briner Sports Complex. The camp is for prospective female student-athletes in ninth grade and above. The cost for the day is $85. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. The Ball State soccer team will then host the Haiti Women's National Team in a spring game at 3 p.m.

Our team camp focuses on getting high school teams ready for their upcoming seasons. Each team will have specialized training from one of our professional coaches. Each team will be given field time on our first-class turf and grass facilities in order to train together with their coach and team. All teams will play a minimum of three full time games against other high school programs present during the two-day camp, complete with referees, pre-game walkout and in-game announcements. We will replicate a true high school game experience in order to get each team fully ready for their fall campaign. Each team must have a minimum of 12 players present in order to be considered for the team camp. We recommend a team of 16 in order to compensate for any unforeseen circumstances, such as injuries or sickness.

The residential camp offers a unique and comprehensive learning experience for both male and female players and goalkeepers. Sessions focus on the technical and tactical aspects of the game. The sessions will provide the athletes with instruction from high-level coaches who will help prepare them for the next level. Meals will be provided. Goalkeepers will receive specialized training in their area. If you are a goalkeeper, be sure to select "Goalkeeper" when you are asked to designate a position during the registration process.

The day camp will focus on advanced technical and tactical application. Players will be provided with the tools necessary to improve speed, strength, psychological and nutritional components. Emphasis will be placed on developing the complete soccer player and preparing them for the next level. Bring your own lunch. Lunch will NOT be provided.

Half day campers will be put through shorter sessions that concentrate on all aspects of the game. They will be provided with high level coaching and taken through sessions with a high level of intensity. Half day campers leave at lunch time.

Instruction will focus on an introduction to soccer fundamentals. Games and activities will be used to enhance the cognitive, social, and psychological tools needed in future years. The emphasis will be on creativity, team spirit, and a fun atmosphere!
